Montreal ERs Overwhelmed with Wait Times | Montreal News

Published 1 day, 12 hours ago
Description

Montreal’s ERs are in crisis, with patients waiting up to 17 hours—over 260 stuck for a full day, more than 120 for two days or longer. Hospitals like Royal Vic and Lakeshore are operating at 200%+ capacity, while Quebec-wide wait times hit nearly 15 hours and hospitals run at 111% capacity. The strain stems from a backlog of complex, elderly cases—not just heat waves—leaving frontline staff overwhelmed and care delayed for everyone.
